Instead of saying, "poo" or "poo-ing," can we all just learn to say defecate or feces? I can't believe my life is reduced to writing threads on this, but everytime i go on the forums, I feel like i'm going back to when i was 15 years old reading posts were people throw these terms in (ahem... granted this forums probably is comprised mostly of that age range).
wordage
- Thread starter lampshade
- Start date
I second that!!

I think those terms are used more out of fun, jest, and just pure enjoyment of a hobby and pets rather than out of immaturity.
Also, there very well may be a good amount of young'ns on the forums but not only does age not proportionately equate with maturity level, there are also some more "elderly" folks on here as well, such as myself-22! Furthermore, not only can someone be younger and mature but also experienced.
Finally, is your life really "reduced to writing threads" about word usage in regards to SHARTING chameleons!!!!???? If that's the case you either lead a very boring life or actually a very tedious and interesting one!
ps- dookie.

Now I am offended!
As a 39 year old (FAR from 15-and I would have to say we really are somewhat light on the 15-ish year old crowd) with a college degree in Biology with plenty of hours dedicated to the digestive and excretive processes, I say poo all of the time, or poop, or fecal, on this forum and never gave it a second thought. Chameleons poo, plain and simple. Sounds like you need a good read of that book, "Everything poops"!

I like the word poo, poop, and poopies. I just think they're fun to say.

Way to lump everyone into an age group by assumption.
By that line of thinking, since you object to the word "poo" or "poop" can I make the assumption that you live alone in your mother's basement, and are never subjected to Children, or ever care for children?

I agree with the fact it's just a tad bit more fun/relaxed to say. I'll be the first to admit, if I'm at the vet with one of my pets I'll use the words Defecate, and Fecal. I just think there's a time and a place to be proper or relaxed.
That and for alot of people it may be more comfortable just to call it poo!
I.E. "My cham finally pooped! Phew! I though maybe he had an impaction!" ... "My cham looks really sick, I'll take him to the vet and see if he needs a fecal done"

I'm 53 and work at an acupuncture clinic and have often had to deal with REAL pooh from REAL people. (they are less embarrassed if you have a sense of whimsy) Never felt the need to get TOO clinical about it, let alone here on the forum.
Okay, now I'm pooped. Time for a geezer nap!

Why would you say something like that? What would give you that impression? I am seriously interested.

Have kids......you say words like poo, poop, pee-pee......
No biggie unless you have to clean any of it up. Then its all crap.
We have friends who went through this. Mom used the term poo or poop or poopie. Dad insisted on defecate (or defaecate- see we all learned something new today!). They had a toddler. The toddler was trying to remember which word to use with which parent. Once out at the grocery store, the toddler, sitting in the cart, looked very disturbed. Mom asked, what's wrong sweetheart? Nothing. What's wrong? Perplexed toddler finally blurts out- "Mommy, I have to, I have to, I have to....go....poopiecates!"
